I am asking the Leader to request the Minister for Justice and Equality to come to the House to explain the situation. Of course Mr. Brozovsky is going to prison in the Czech Republic, but his family will have access to him and have the right to visit him in prison. The family of the deceased, Ms Sharon Coughlan will have a grave to visit this Christmas.

The repatriation of Mr. Brozovsky was against the wishes of the Coughlan family. He was only convicted in 2007 and served five years in prison in this country. He should serve his full sentence in Ireland, which is what the Coughlan family wishes. I am conveying the wish of the family to this House. The Minister should have the courtesy to explain his decision to the House. He refused to give a report to the House.
